It happens to every cosplayer at some point before a convention season really starts to pick up- they start to worry and pretty soon there are no nails on your fingers from chewing them. I am at this stage. I have about a month and a half before MomoCon in Atlanta. However, all of my cosplays are about 90% done. The problem? – The props.

I refuse to go to a convention until everything is complete and meets my satisfaction. Garment wise we are OK… sort of. Jack Frost is perfect and was debuted at Toronto ComiCon 2016 a couple weeks ago:

Originally I thought I would style the wig to match the character… but i kind of like the way it is now. I may change my mind before MomoCon though. I will also try to find transparent flip flops, or at least brown colored ones.

I plan to spend the remainder of this weekend fixing a few areas.

Sailor Saturn needs the following adjustments:

Finish Gloves (while also doing a tutorial on how to make them)

Start molding star-shaped molds for resin

Try to get skirt to curl even further

Move sleeves to cover some threaded areas

Add purple trim to boots

(possibility) add some purple pearls around waist

Dark Magician Girl needs the following adjustment:

Shoulder armor came undone on one side, need to sew it back up

Find some shoes to glue to the boot sleeves

DO THE STUPID HAT AGAIN!

Make resin molds and figure out how to attach to garment.

Now that I look at the list above my stress is just rising. That is a lot to do, considering tomorrow is Sunday. On top of all of this I have my props to worry about.

I love the props. This is always the part that I look forward to doing and I don’t want to rush through it. I just ordered a new jumbo roll of WonderFlex and I am also trying something new: Worbla Transparent

That’s right! It is transparent now! I am so excited to be using this for the first time. I plan on making both Saturn’s Glaive and DMG’s staff light up and now I can hide the LED light wire inside the transparent sleeve. So I am very pleased. My only problem is that I won’t be able to get working on the props until mid May, about 1-2 weeks before MomoCon. So I will have to dedicate any free time I have right now to fixing the costumes and then spend a solid 1-2 weeks working on the props. GAH! So much to do so little time!
